Do Mumbai police invoke MCOCA in Salman Khan’s firing case?
After two alleged accused opened fire outside Salman Khan’s Galaxy Apartment in Mumbai, several teams got active to investigate the matter. According to ANI, the Mumbai police have now booked the two arrested shooters, Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta, and the two alleged arms suppliers, identified as Sonu Subhash Chander and Anuj Thapan, under the Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA).
“All accused have been booked under Sections 3(1)(2), 3(1)(3), and 3(1)(4) of MCOCA,” the cops told the agency.
After Anmol Bishnoi, the younger brother of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, took responsibility for the shooting through a purported Facebook post, the investigating team also issued a Look Out Circular (LOC) against Anmol. Moreover, after recovering strong evidence, they have tagged Lawrence Bishnoi as the prime accused in this case.

The Delhi crime branch officials also interrogated Sagar Pal and Vicky Gupta for nearly three hours regarding the case, and their custody was extended from April 25 to April 29. On the other hand, the Esplanade Court in Mumbai has sent both arms suppliers to Mumbai Crime Branch custody until April 30, reported ANI.
